With your permission, I want to make a suggestion, Madam? If we can just say "other regional associations or parliaments" so that we will not be very specific.

RAPPORTEUR GENERAL (HON. NAFSIAH MBOI) :

Does everybody agree to that?

MR. OSAMU KUSUMOTO (APDA) :

Dr. Tayara, the African and the Middle East Forum on Population, or Parliamentarians on Population and Development decided in Copenhagen to set up their Executive Committee meeting. AFPPD has already committed itself to and discussed the establishment of their forum,

African and Middle Eastern Region will have General Executive Committee with special emphasis on African and Middle Eastern Activities for their forum in April, and this will include both the Middle Eastern and the African regions. I think, it is very difficult to find a geographical division of the Asian and the Middle East regions. For some, it may be difficult, but we need to mention this matter.

Do you have any opposition?

HON. GHASSAN TAYARA (SYRIA):

I do not understand why we need it. Maybe you need it but why do we need it? When we speak about regional, we should not. Maybe, tomorrow, we will be in the Arabian region. When we speak about the Middle East and Arab, Arab is approximately the Middle East.

RAPPORTEUR GENERAL (HON. NAFSIAH MBOI):

I understand, and I hope it is acceptable to put just "Other Regional Forums of Parliamentarians on Population and Development," That is included. Okay.

Thank you.

It is almost coffee break now. I hope we can finish before coffee break. Could I invite the Honorable Member of Parliament from Thailand please.

HON. TARLNTHONG THONGSWASDI (THAILAND) :

Thank you, Madam Chair.
Actually, we have one comment, but it was already mentioned and settled. So what I have to say now is just to thank the working committee for this very good and excellent work.

Thank you.
